The Holiday Lights Festival New Year’s Eve Fireworks Spectacular is tonight at the Gene Leahy Mall at 14th and Farnam streets at 7 p.m.
One of the largest New Year’s Eve fireworks displays in the region and the closing event of the Holiday Lights Festival, the show is expected to draw more than 30,000 people to downtown Omaha.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a nonperishable food item for the blue collection barrels at the event, to help ConAgra Foods' campaign to Shine the Light on Hunger and reach the final goal of 1.1 million meals for the Food Bank for the Heartland.
Elderly persons and folks with disabilities are welcome to view the fireworks from the fourth floor of the W. Dale Clark Library.
The fireworks display is choreographed so that each shell explodes on cue to a unique musical score.
Enjoy the holiday lights in Gene Leahy Mall every evening from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. through January 6.
